The sagittal abdominal diameter: Role in predicting severe liver disease in the general population - 01/08/18
, Antti Jula bAbstract |
The role of the sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) as a predictor of incident liver disease is unknown. 6626 individuals from the Finnish population-based Health 2000 Study were linked with national registers for liver-related admissions, mortality and cancer. SAD predicted incident liver disease (HR 1.32, 95% CI 1.06–1.65) when adjusted for age and sex, but the association was weaker than for waist–hip ratio (HR 1.86, 95% CI 1.35–2.55), waist circumference (HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.12–1.81), and waist–height ratio (HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.12–1.87); BMI was non-significant. In conclusion, SAD provided no additional benefit to other obesity measures in predicting incident severe liver disease.
